Here's the problem: the form on the previous page supplies an uploaded image to the second page which is then inserted into a MySQL table. The difficulty I am having is that for some reason it's not inserting. The form inserts the first image but not the second. When I print out the sql query I am submitting, less the image itself, it prints correctly. When I print out the image itself, it also prints correctly. So I don't understand where the problem could possibly be. I appreciate your help as always :) V
